Interlibrary loan is a service that is provided for faculty, students, and staff of Francis Marion University.  If you need a book or an article in a periodical that the James A. Rogers Library does not have, we can in most instances borrow the book or obtain photocopies of the article from another library.  Complete all information requested on the forms to avoid delays in obtaining materials.  Allow at least one week for your request to be processed and mailed to the Library.

Conditions for ILL services are determined by regional and national codes as well as by policy established by the lending library.  Thus, the lending library will decide in each instance whether an item will or will not be provided.  Most libraries do not lend the following types of material:

• Special Collections or Archival material

• Reference Books

• Journals/magazines

• Monographs published within the last two years

• Video and audio materials

        Photocopies from these items can be sent.
